273 V8



Hi –

 

               I need some advice.  I have had trouble with the temp gauge on my 65 273.  Even when fully hot, the needle barely moves.  I have replaced the sending unit, gauge itself and the wiring from the gauge to the bulkhead connector without any improvement.  I will continue to work on this issue this summer as time permits but I have a more immediate problem.  I have a trip coming up shortly and I don’t want to be without some type of temp gauge.  I looked into a basic mechanical Sunpro gauge that I could hang on the bottom of the dash but the capillary tube that fits into the block as well as the fitting itself are substantially larger than the opening for the sending unit.  So, I have the following questions –

 

1)      Can anyone suggest an alternative way for me to hook up at least some type of temp gauge or light?

2)      I will contact Sunpro or another supplier to see if they have something I can use but I need to know the specs for the sending unit opening.  It appears to be 7/16 x 28.  Can anyone confirm this? 

 

Thanks, Bob from Maine
